			<h1>NUMBERVALUE Function</h1>
			<p>The <b>NUMBERVALUE</b> function is one of the text and data functions. Is used to convert text to a number, in a locale-independent way. If the converted text is not a number, the function will return a <b>#VALUE!</b> error.</p>
			<p>The <b>NUMBERVALUE</b> function syntax is:</p> 
			<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>NUMBERVALUE(text [, [decimal-separator] [, [group-separator]])</em></b></p> 
			<p><em>where</em></p>
            <p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>text</em></b> is text data that represents a number.</p>
            <p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>decimal-separator</em></b> is the character used to separate the integer and fractional part of the result. It is an optional argument. If it is omitted, the current locale is used.</p>
            <p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>group-separator</em></b> is the character used to separate groupings of numbers, such as thousands from hundreds and millions from thousands. It is an optional argument. If it is omitted, the current locale is used.</p>
            <p>The values can be entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.</p>
            <p>To apply the <b>NUMBERVALUE</b> function,</p>
			<ol>
			<li>select the cell where you wish to display the result,</li>
			<li>click the <b>Insert function</b> <div class = "icon icon-insertfunction"></div> icon situated at the top toolbar,
				<br />or right-click within a selected cell and select the <b>Insert Function</b> option from the menu,
				<br />or click the <div class = "icon icon-function"></div> icon situated at the formula bar,
			</li>
			<li>select the <b>Text and data</b> function group from the list,</li>
			<li>click the <b>NUMBERVALUE</b> function,</li>
			<li>enter the required arguments separating them by commas,
			</li>
			<li>press the <b>Enter</b> button.</li>
			</ol>
			<p>The result will be displayed in the selected cell.</p>
